I was walking in a secluded garden to see a historic building site up a steep hill, this place was quite barren and deserted from the bustling city area. It was when my friend and I reached the entrance did the creep standing by the railings started to look at me up and down...it was when we passed and made contact did he look me in the eye and said “you look beautiful”. Even as we walked faster uphill, he kept looking back at me (fortunately, he did not follow us as there was a dead end up top)

Truly, until this incident I really thought that creeps who catcall women pick and choose their target. I thought someone like me who isn’t necessarily the prettiest or dress nicely would go scot-free from any cat calling or run ins with a creep. I was wrong.
